I strongly advise all farmers who

take place on matters that vitally 
concern seed, the raw material of 
all farmers. 

The Association was formed firty 
years ago by 


the late Dr James Reb v'. n, 6

people would concentrate 
forts on producing high quality seed 
and in mikiog it availibie at mod

The results have far exceeded Ir 
Robertson's hopes and expectations 

The Association started with 93 
secd growers, and today we find « 
the rolls no less than 2,600 hiphts
